Alternate title: Most awesome US sniper is f***ing awesome!
(BBC) A young cowboy from Texas who joined the elite US Navy Seals became the most deadly sniper in American history. In a book published this month he provides an unusual insight into the psychology of a soldier who waits, watches and kills.
That sniper is Chris Kyle, who has 160 official kills. He says reality is more like 225. Iraqi opposition called him “The Devil”, and he had a $20,000 bounty on his head.
Married with two children, he has now retired from the military and has published a book in which he claims to have no regrets, referring to the people he killed as “savages”.
Then the BBC gets all squishy, and starts talking about regret and stuff. As for Kyle?
But for the US’s deadliest sniper, remorse does not seem to be an issue.
“It is a weird feeling,” he admits. “Seeing an actual dead body… knowing that you’re the one that caused it now to no longer move.”
But that is as far as he goes.
“Every person I killed I strongly believe that they were bad,” he says. “When I do go face God there is going to be lots of things I will have to account for but killing any of those people is not one of them.”
No wonder Paradise ran out of virgins: Kyle sent too many jihadists too quick.
And the name of the book this Awesome guy wrote is …??
The name of the book is “American Sniper.”
